NOVA AI Agent
Superintelligent Bitcoin & Stacks Blockchain Assistant
Nova AI Agent is an autonomous conversational AI built on Claude Sonnet 4 and purpose-designed for the Bitcoin and Stacks ecosystems. It operates natively inside Discord, Telegram, and Twitter — answering questions, analyzing transactions, diagnosing errors, tracking wallets, and surfacing market intelligence using 180+ specialized blockchain tools and a tiered context memory that remembers what matters.
What Nova Can Do
On-Chain Analysis & Forensics
Nova reads the blockchain directly. Give it a transaction hash, wallet address, or contract identifier and it will fetch real data, interpret it, and explain what happened — including failed transactions, error codes, and contract-level bugs.
Examples you can ask:
"Why did my transaction fail?" — Nova fetches the tx details, reads the error code, pulls the Clarity contract source, and explains the root cause.
"What's in this wallet?" — Returns STX balance, fungible tokens, NFTs, staking positions, and recent activity.
"Is this contract safe?" — Analyzes contract source code for known vulnerability patterns.
Bitcoin Ordinals Ecosystem
Nova has comprehensive access to the Bitcoin Ordinals ecosystem through the Best in Slot API, covering:
Collections — Market data, floor prices, listings, holder distribution, activity feeds
Inscriptions — Metadata, sat rarity, batch lookups, global statistics
BRC-20 Tokens — Balances, trending tickers, market data, holder analysis
Runes Protocol — Wallet balances, trending runes, historical supply, market activity
Bitmap Protocol — Holdings, market info, listings, activity tracking
Sats Names — Forward/reverse lookups, validity checks
Mempool UTXOs — Cardinal, ordinal, and runic UTXO tracking in real time
Multi-Chain Market Intelligence
Through Tenero.io integration, Nova provides analytics across Stacks, Spark, SportsFun, and Citrea:
Token price charts (OHLC candlesticks)
Wallet profit/loss analysis and trade history
Whale trade detection and flow analysis
Trending liquidity pools and DEX discovery

Bitcoin: Bitcoin Optech, Bitcoin Magazine, Cointelegraph
Ordinals: CryptoSlate Ordinals, Cointelegraph NFT, Decrypt
Stacks: Hiro Blog, Stacks Core GitHub, SIPs repository, Cointelegraph
General Web: Tavily-powered search with domain-level filtering
How Nova Thinks
5-Step Reasoning Framework
Every response follows a structured methodology:
Understand — Identify the user's core question (both explicit and implied)
Assess Data — Determine what data is available vs. what needs to be fetched
Plan Tools — Select which tools to call, in what order, and why
Validate — Check results for consistency, gaps, or contradictions
Synthesize — Combine findings into a coherent, accurate answer
Intent Classification
Nova uses an LLM-powered intent gate to classify every incoming message:
Respond
Full agentic analysis with tool calls
Clarify
Ask a brief question to resolve ambiguity
Brief
Short acknowledgment (e.g., "thanks!" → friendly reply)
Ignore
Noise, spam, or broadcasts — no response
This means Nova won't spam your channels with unnecessary replies, but it also won't miss genuine questions.
Adaptive Response Depth
Nova automatically adjusts response length based on context:
Ultra Concise (~280 chars)
Twitter/X platform constraint
Concise (~600 chars)
Quick lookups, simple questions, "briefly" requests
Balanced (~1,200 chars)
General conversation, standard queries
Analytical (~2,000 chars)
Failed transactions, "why/how" questions, security concerns, multi-entity queries
Memory & Context
Nova doesn't just answer one-off questions — it remembers context across conversations using a tiered memory system backed by PostgreSQL.
How It Works
HOT
Recent messages (full text)
6 hours
WARM
LLM-compressed summaries of older messages
48 hours
COLD
Rolling narrative summary + key facts
30 days
Every message is scored 0-10 on importance. Blockchain data (addresses, transactions, errors) scores higher and decays 3x slower than casual conversation. This means Nova remembers the wallet you asked about yesterday but naturally forgets small talk.
What This Means for You
Ask a follow-up question hours later and Nova still has context
Mention "my wallet" and Nova remembers which address you mean
Nova tracks entities (addresses, contracts, tokens) across all conversations in your server
Admins can manage memory via the
/nova-workspaceDiscord command
Workspace & Identity
Nova has a persistent personality defined by three workspace documents:
SOUL
Core personality, values, communication style, areas of expertise
IDENTITY
Name, version, per-platform response styles
HEARTBEAT
Autonomous monitoring checklist, runs every 6 hours
These are seeded from markdown files on first boot and can be edited at runtime by server admins using the /nova-workspace slash command.
Autonomous GM System
Nova sends daily "Good Morning" messages that include real blockchain news — not generic greetings. Each GM pulls the latest from Bitcoin, Ordinals, and Stacks sources, formatted for the platform it's posting on.
Safety & Trust
Nova is designed to be a reliable source of blockchain information, not a hype machine.
What Nova Will Do
Warn about unverified or suspicious contracts
Flag potential scams, honeypots, and wallet drainers
Explain risks in plain language
Admit when it doesn't have enough data to give a definitive answer
Recommend security best practices
What Nova Will Never Do
Recommend specific investments or tokens to buy
Predict price movements or guarantee returns
Fabricate blockchain data — if the data isn't available, Nova says so
Ignore security red flags to give an optimistic answer
Confidence Expression
Nova communicates certainty through language, not disclaimers:
On-chain data: "This transaction failed with error u500" (stated as fact)
Inferred: "This likely failed due to insufficient allowance" (qualified)
Uncertain: "I don't have enough data to determine the cause" (explicit)
Supported Platforms

Getting Started
Nova AI Agent activates automatically when you mention the bot or reply to one of its messages in a Discord or Telegram group where it's installed.
Try asking:
"What's the floor price of [collection name]?"
"Show me trending BRC-20 tokens"
"Analyze wallet SP1K1F..."
"Why did transaction 0x... fail?"
"What's happening in the Stacks ecosystem today?"
"Find open bounties on ZADAO"
For installation instructions, see the Getting Started guide.
